VMProtect has been removed from Tales of Symphonia.

60fps patch incoming?
Click to expand...

Yeah, hopefully. Kaldeien has been working on it since las week or so, but the DRM is the real obstacle for him and his team. With that out of the way, the job will only get easier. Moreover, we don't have to deal with exe file for their tsfix anymore, only dll files just like Zestiria.

They were never going to in the first place. Anything Microsoft produces is in all likelihood going to be a crippled, gimped version on PC.

They made their bed. They can lie in it.

Thanks JaseC :)

I've been playing far too much Stardew Valley, such a great change in pace from the games I've been playing recently and each day provides a new challenge/surprise. I'm still seasons away from making any decent progress with upgrades... I need to up my farming game.

I've also jumped on the Vive pre-order hype train after being an avid user of the DK2. I can't wait to try Job Simulator it looks like a blast. I hope someone makes a multiplayer based playroom game similar to what Oculus showed off with the touch, I'm sure that makes for a surreal experience.

I also finally upgraded from my iPhone 4 to a Samsung S6 today and I'm completely lost on how to use the Andriod OS :D

Why would they need drivers? For example Ubisoft games have native DS4 support so there is no need for 3rd party app. In same way PS4 Stream app cold have native support.
Click to expand...

Because Remote Play relies on 2 things not supported natively by direct input, the PS Button and advanced use of the Touchpad (well in the Vita's case). Might be built into the Remote Play application but a more graceful solution would be a device specific driver path as you can expand upon at a later point and not application tied.

Can't applications still specifically target them without the need for another driver? Steam BPM makes use of the PS button and Ubi's implementation of the touchpad is identical to the console versions of multiplat games.

It's one of my most anticipated VR titles, at least until Garry's Mod gets VR support.

Did Capcom say the game is 30$?
To me it looks horrible even for 20€, I'll give it a try for completion's sake when it will be 5€.
If servers will be still online, of course.

Of course and just as the DS4Windows guys allow use of the touchpad for the user. But this has been done on the application developers end so if Sony wants this to work then they themselves are going to write their own solution. Now instead of say just bundling this with their own application for its sole use, just like all the other uses you've described, they instead make this a driver then there's at least a universal way to access those features. But as dex says it's Sony so probably isn't going to happen.

Well, all those SecuROM devs are probably looking for something to do at the moment.
Sony may as well use their experience in writing PC software for the driver and/or RemotePlay app.

I can't possibly see how, seeing as in both scenarios they're implementing the controller being used anyway, they go with the solution that takes more effort with less of a reason to do so :p

Today is Super Tuesday in the US. This year, we as a nation will probably select the two worst candidates for both parties to battle for our amusement (and to the rest of the world's horror) come November for the position of President.

So to "celebrate", here is a bunch of really lame giveaways. Note, all these keys probably work but, much like congress, there is no guarantee they will work.

i don't like to give money recommendations cos money means something different to each, so can't really tell you

for me 40 bucks is a lot of money but the witness wasn't really a game i was gonna wait for a sale or whatever. some games i really like playing on release to be part of the conversation and this was definitely one of them, analyzing where it succeeds and where it fails and comparing my experience to others was really important to me personally, and even if i struggled to get a grasp of what the game was really about i feel like i'm there now and i can really appreciate what it's trying to do

so yeah i can't tell you about money but if you like puzzle games and you like critically thinking about games mechanics and game design then it's probably gonna be a really good idea to pick this up. it's not quite as approacheable as braid but i find some things about it are more sophisticated and may be a better reflection of blow as a designer than what braid did. some other things are a bit questionable but even those are a good point of conversation

so yeah idk, it's a game i've been following for a long while and i had a lot of expectations for. ymmv if that's not the case for you
Click to expand...

I was joking actually, referring to the GAF controversy surrounding the price around release date. A lot of people seemed to think it was too expensive for a game like this (I don't really get why it supposedly deserves a lower price though; sounds absurd to me).

But I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The "My loot" command says that the ones marked with stars weren't taken in a previous raffle, should work, might not, might do, probably, I'm not sure, what's the worst that could happen?

Have you considered steps to try to minimize your arachnophobia?

Like exposure that you work on weekly, gradually working from what gives you the least amount of anxiety with spiders to the higher things (like handling one, I'm guessing.)

Are we sure this was done deliberately? Maybe they just forgot to add it to the .exe after they built/compiled a new version of the game. With these idiots, nothing would surprise me.
